Teacher’s Bag of Tricks

Now that the cursory iTunes introduction is out of the way, I can tell you about some great, free content available for download. The University of Southern Florida offers hundreds of children’s stories and classic literature in the form of audiobooks through the Lit2Go service. From Beatrix Potter to Charles Dickens and more, you can find audio files and printable versions for use in independent reading, small group or whole group instruction.

You can find the files in FSU’s iTunes U section in the iTunes store.

For Windows/Mac: iTunes is a must have for music and video on your computer. From wikipedia:

iTunes is a media player, written by Apple Computer, for playing and organizing digital music, video files, and purchasing digital music files in the FairPlay digital rights management format. The iTunes Music Store (also sometimes referred to simply as “iTunes” or “iTMS”) is the component of iTunes through which users can purchase digital music files from within iTunes.
